Steve Brownstein, Dennis Brownstein, and Donald Schneider Make Presence In NAPBS - Nashville

Steven Brownstein, Dennis Brownstein, and Donald Schneider, a super-powerhouse of criminal record check, background screening, and sales dynamics will be in Nashville April 15th-17th at the annual NAPBS Conference.

Steven Brownstein, whose conference in 2003 and whose efforts there formed the NAPBS, has been absent for several years from the annual conference. This year is different.

"It is sort of like a home-coming for me, quips Steven Brownstein.  The NAPBS,  it has been several years since my international travels have coincided with the NAPBS annual conference. This year that I am in the USA. I wouldn't miss this conference for anything."

His brother, Dennis Brownstein, couldn't agree more, " I usually attend the NAPBS conferences wiith my sales and marketing staff. It is such a pleasure to have my brother, Steve, here. He brings to the conference a dynamic that no one else in the industry quite does."

Donald Schneider, Straightline International's newly appointed Director of USA Sales, admits to being rather awed by the immensity of the NAPBS Conference and that it is such a successful garthering of industry titans. Yet, having known Steven Brownstein, he admits that it comes as no surprise the industry had through his effort evolved into this great entity.

Schneider adds, "As a relatively new-comer to the pre-employment screening industry, I see that there are many committed members to NAPBS. I hope to be one of those committed.  It is with a matter of pride that I announce that Straightline International and our sister newspaper, The Background Investigator, will host the NAPBS Newcomer Reception."

About hosting the NAPBS Newcomer Reception, that's Brownstein through and through. Always giving a hand to the underdog. Always helping the industry and its participants to excel and succeed.

And he gives without any strings attached. That it is indeed a quality he has, a quality rarely found these days.

Pre-employment Screeing Company Lurks Watching Behind Researcher's Back's

What pre-employment screening company is lurking behind the PRRN Listserve following everything the members write about.

Why even the other day this background screening company gave advice how to collect from their competitor's!

Ethics, what's that?

Local USA Record Retrievers Complain They're Getting Stiffed

Can this be a recurring nightmare and pre-employment screening companies are at it again, up to old tricks?

What's this, you ask?

How about stifing vendors?

Thats' right, not paying them.

And then switching to another researcher thereby never talking to the owed and facing up to bill.

Not happening in our industry?

Talk to PRRN members - a recent string of texting confirms this nasty practice has reared its ugly head again.

Of course there are plenty of background check companies that perfectly ethical in ther treatment of vendors, absolutely the majority.

Can we do anything about it? Probably not.

I really would have thought these (bloodsuckers) would have disappeared by now.

Stiffing must be profitable in the pre-employment screening business.



The Corruption Of A Good Idea

There is a linkedin group for international background checks.

What started out  as a good idea has warped into a free for all sales pitch, most definitely controlled by Chinese and Indian companies trying to pitch their wares.

The corrupted part is the original string had requested help for Canada.

Lately, these Chinese and India companies are strong arming all topics on Linkedin backgdound checks.

One ploy is they represent themselves as in need of a company to do work for them overseas, outside their countries.

This is just a ruse to get your E-mail address and then bombard you with endless sales pitches.

There is no escape.

There are no requests from overseas!

They have taken over.

Are we going to do anything about it?

No, because we never do.
